Besides the problem with the wakeup tracer I see traces with
preemptirqsoff that I think are invalid:

# tracer: preemptirqsoff
#
# preemptirqsoff latency trace v1.1.5 on 2.6.31-rc8-rt9-rt_trace
# --------------------------------------------------------------------
# latency: 332 us, #4/4, CPU#24 | (M:preempt VP:0, KP:0, SP:0 HP:0 #P:32)
#    -----------------
#    | task: -0 (uid:0 nice:0 policy:0 rt_prio:0)
#    -----------------
#  => started at: start_secondary
#  => ended at:   start_secondary
#
#
#                  _------=> CPU#
#                 / _-----=> irqs-off
#                | / _----=> need-resched
#                || / _---=> hardirq/softirq
#                ||| / _--=> preempt-depth

  <idle>-0      24.N.1    0us : cpu_idle <-start_secondary
  <idle>-0      24dN.1    1us!: tick_nohz_stop_idle <-tick_nohz_restart_sched_ti
ck
  <idle>-0      24dN.1  332us+: cpu_idle <-start_secondary
  <idle>-0      24dN.1  336us : trace_preempt_on <-start_secondary

I have set kernel.ftrace_enabled = 1 but still not a single function
is recorded in tick_nohz_stop_idle().

Any ideas?
